    Yeah, but they were dorks like myself and very much not inclined to be watching shit from the manosphere or shoot someone.

    I know you’re just playing devil’s advocate, but you gotta Occam’s razor this shit i.e.; if you have to make so many assumptions you’re on the wrong path. What is most likely, is most likely by a large margin.

      I think what they’re doing is more than playing devil’s advocate in the modern use, using it more as the original meaning of advocating skepticism and caution when coming to conclusions. I think you both have points, but holy hell it’s refreshing seeing someone calling for calming down and thinking skeptically on the internet when speaking to their own side.
